Trail friends

Arthur seems to be hiking with a consistent crew for now. Here they are on Friday at the home of Kenny, who provides a bed, laundry, and shower for $40. 
They crossed a deep but very slow moving creek together.

The water wasn't very cold and the crossing was fun, though carrying the pack on his head was "interesting."

    I bet sitting at a table is a nice change of pace. So great that Boot has trail buddies. Maybe the crossing counts as a bath? 🙃

 As some of you already know, Arthur is home in St. Louis. Several days after he got back on the trail near Lake Tahoe, he found that hiking wasn't fun anymore. So we helped him get to Reno and on a plane to STL.  I'll let Arthur share whatever other thoughts he would like. And hopefully he'll share a bunch of photos, too.

South into the Sierras

 Arthur got back on the trail Sunday after more than a week off the trail due to his changes of plans. After taking a train to Sacramento and then a bus to Truckee, he spent a few more days near Donner Summit regrouping his supplies and planning for the next leg of his journey.  Right now his plan is to hike south through the Sierra's to Mt. Whitney, which will take about a month. From there he'll figure out if the conditions in Washington State are favorable.  Today (Wednesday) he is south of Lake Tahoe and entering sections of trail he has never hiked before. The first few days back on the trail were rough, he says, but he's getting his trail legs back and is excited to experience new scenery.  It's a perfect time of year for this section of trail. I'm hoping he'll have enough signal to send photos soon.
